When we or a loved one receives a diagnosis of cancer or of any significant health issue, our lives are thrown into a tailspin. How and why did this happen? Should we undergo surgery? Should we utilize either conventional or alternative treatments, or perhaps both? Who should we listen to—since we usually receive a lot of advice, often conflicting, from different health professionals and many others who love us? Along with facing these important questions, we are almost always experiencing fear to a great degree.

But we don’t want to make any decisions or take any actions while we’re acting from fear, because we’ll usually make decisions stemming from what we feel will most quickly alleviate the fear. This is human nature. But a rushed decision may not be what is actually best for our long-term health and peace of mind.

How can having cancer be a gift? Addressing our cancer holistically refers to much more than a physical cure or remission. Cancer is a major wake-up call that is usually alerting us to things in our life that aren’t serving our highest good—and our peace and joy—and that we likely haven’t paid attention to, including our diet, stress, lifestyle and environmental factors, and especially our emotional and spiritual health and our belief systems.

We each hold many false beliefs about how we see ourselves, others, and the world and our place in it, and many of these beliefs carry over to our journey with cancer, impacting our decision-making. If we don’t recognize this, we risk rushing into treatment for cancer without paying attention to what the cancer is showing us, and we can miss the gifts and opportunities that the cancer brings. In doing so, we will likely end up in the same spot again with our health down the line.

If we choose the warrior path and are willing to pursue a critical self-analysis of what is serving us—and not serving us—we can release what is false and innately know the best choices we need to make for treatment. Doing so will give us the best opportunity for an optimum health outcome, and we will also experience much greater levels of joy, peace, and compassion for ourselves and others.

The Gift Of Cancer does not advocate for any treatment path. Rather, it helps the reader see from a more expanded perspective so that they can make the choices that are best for them.

Having undergone a cancer journey himself, Lawrence Doochin understands the severe fear and trauma that those who have cancer, and their loved ones, experience. His heart opens to each of you with the greatest compassion and empathy, and this book was written to be of service. The Gift Of Cancer will take you from despair to optimism, peace, and gratitude.
